Description of Presentation
This presentation will provide an overview of a number of online chemistry tools that can be used in the classroom, to fulfill chemistry content standards while integrating 21st Century skills.
ChemMatters
A magazine sponsored by the ACS written for students. The free downloads contain a sample of articles available in pdf format and a teachers guidel with lesson ideas.

ChemiCool is an interactive site with an online chemistry dictionary, interactive periodic table, and list of elements.
Blogging
Rebecca provided a variety of links on the wiki. She organized the sites a best as possible by subject matter. She shared a site called ThinkQuest. This site is actually a competiton where students create science related web sites. This site includes a number of links to varied web sites. You can see the winners from the different years. If using this site, make sure to check out the grade level that the resource was created for because the site covers grades K-12. Sites on ThinkQuest that she has used is The Xe files site. There are lots of all types of science topics in addition to chemistry to check out.
PBS Teachers web site has resources that include media as well as, many times, lessons and activities. A specific site was provided in this wiki, but you can go to PBS Teachers.com to see all of the resources from PBS.
Chem for kids is a site she used with lower level students. It has a variety of interactiave games. Class members shared that on You Tube there are Brainiac videos that are good science videos. Rebecca shared that she has found a variety of videos on You tube for a variety of science related areas.
Above you can find a Chem matters link that goes to the Chem Matters web site. Teachers can get archived magazine articles as well as teacher's guides.
There elements of the periodic table above provide links to sites that will help them to better understand and learn about the periodic table.
